We just got beat, it happens.
Ya can't win'em all but now would be a fine time to start winning a few.
Funny story: One of my wife's two brothers recorded a Cardinals game on a cassette tape. That Christmas when their other brother and his wife were visiting home, they were driving somewhere. Jim had the tape in his tape player in his car and put it on. They're driving along for about ten minutes when the wife says, "What are the Cardinals doing playing in December?".Originally Posted by Ron Madden
I'll agree with the assessment on the failed post-trade strategy, however I back up my initial analysis.Originally Posted by WVRedsFan
Post All Star
Player 1: 50 AB 16 H 5 2B 1 3B 2 HR 6 RBI .320 Avg .424 OBP 1.004 OPS
Player 2: 57 AB 17 H 5 2B 0 3B 1 HR 7 RBI .263 Avg .411 OBP .814 OPS
Guess who is whom?
So yes, Ryan Freel has "made up" for Austins production (so far). And if Austin were around, Freel wouldn't be playing.
As for FeLo...his LH bat is missed...no doubt. Clayton and Castro make too many outs.
As for the team:
To make sample sizes the same:
18 games Pre-All star game:
Runs Scored: 90 (5.00 per game)
Runs Allowed: 103: (5.72 per game)
7-11 in W-L
18 games Post All Star
Runs Scored: 80 (4.44 per game)
Runs Allowed: 86 (4.78 per game)
10-8 in W-L
Different opponents, different results.
So the team was sliding before the break...changes its composure, catches some fire and then resumes its slide. That's all.
Is the team better or worse? Probably more balanced, but not necessarily better. Instead of losing 10-5, we lose 5-3.
It's just a different kind of suck now.
